| Why Can't I Lose Weight?
Depending on what you have had to drink and eat in the course of a day, even though it may not be that many calories your weight can fluctuate by a couple of pounds. It can depend on how much sodium you have ingested, your activity level and other factors.
Getting to that point, that seemingly healthy frozen entree that you might have had for lunch just might be the culprit!
There is a series of books out by David Zinczenko & Matt Goulding called Eat This~Not That! In these books you will find all sorts of wonderful easy to follow nutritional information on restaurants, grocery shopping, special diets, and the list goes on!
I'm not advocating some of the "better" desserts that they have listed if your goal is losing weight but it will open your eyes as to how much sodium and fat you really are getting when you go out to eat!
If fact, it may just make you decide to stay in and start making your own dinners which is the healthiest choice of all.
When you go to the grocery store, check out those labels! The smartest way to shop is to stay at the perimeters of the store. Think about what you find there, produce, dairy, meat and choose fresh whole grain breads. Towards the center of the store is where you will find the frozen and processed foods. STAY AWAY!
If you don't wish to go out and purchase the book there is a web site HealthyDiningFinder.com that will help you make a wiser decision before picking a place to eat.
Remember, order dressing and sauces on the side. Go for steamed, baked, or broiled when ordering your entree. Alcohol is empty calories that also tend to tempt bad decisions in eating more not less!
